A Letter From U

from Songs To Live By by The Square Egg

lyrics

Just what I needed was another lonely metaphor to tell you just how I feel about you.
I was searching through this hurting for ways to say that I just can't live without you.
Then came these syllables full of meaning screaming the honest truth to my heart.
There aren't words designed to describe the fact that I can't stand that we're apart.
So I just sit and soak up the feeling/ sobbing what I need is healing.
Words on paper can't fill the void/ left by the thief who came and stole my joy.
And I don't need a sign/ And I don't need a rhyme.
To help me pass the time sitting here waiting on a letter from you.

Just what I needed was another sad chord to tell me that I'm empty now that you're gone.
I was searching through these notes for a melody to tell to come on back home.
And I don't need a beat/ And I don't need no chords.
To take away all of these cliches and songs.
All I want is a letter from you/ So give it to me one time.

Just one

Just what I needed was another lonely dinner in the city at our regular table for two.
Food just ain't the same without you/ Now tell me what am I supposed to do?
Passion kisses from my Mrs./ I miss this like chardonnay.
Lips taste like wine/ Were all mine, but this is gone like yesterday.
So I just sit and wash away the feelings/ Searching for ways I try to heal me.
Intoxicants they cannot save me/ All I have is these tears here to bathe me.
And I don't need my friends/ And I don't need memories.
You can have all of the parties, momma/ All I want is a letter from you.
So give it to me one time...


Just one

Bridge:

Sitting here in this lonely room with only my conscious and silence as companionship...
And all I wish I had was one sweet, sweet letter from you...

Just what I needed was another lonely metaphor to tell you just how I feel about you.
I was searching through this hurting for ways to say that I just can't live without you.
Then came these syllables full of meaning screaming the honest truth to my heart.
There aren't words designed to describe the fact that I can't stand that we're apart.
So I just sit and soak up the feeling/ sobbing what I need is healing.
Words on paper can't fill the void/ left by the thief who came and stole my joy.
Will you just show me a sign/ 'Cause I have written a rhyme?
And I'm done passing time/ Sweet momma, all I wanted, girl, is a letter from you.
So give it to me one time...


Just one
